“But you know what? There’s far more pain involved in rolling over, far more pain in hiding.”

I know very much what I believe.

One of the things that I intend to devote a lot of time to in the coming years is continuing to try to move people’s hearts and minds with humor, with stories, with anecdotes, with facts and information.

The Constitution is brilliant for accountability; for posing factions against each other, to fight amongst themselves in government, which protects our liberty. But also in ensuring that decision-making is made by those who the people can hold accountable.

You don’t hear me lambasting, engaging in personal attacks, getting nasty. I don’t think that belongs in politics.

Mike Huckabee says the answer to our problems is to cure all diseases. I guess no one’s thought of that before.

Any country that makes U.S. service members get on their knees will feel the full force and fury of the United States of America.

I want you to take a good, hard look at me, America, because this is exactly what you’ve got coming.

We are witnessing a great awakening. Millions of Texans, millions of Americans are rising up to reclaim our country, to defend liberty and to restore the Constitution.

I offer myself as a leader to the people of this country because I think they’re looking for solutions, not lawyers arguing over laws or entertainers throwing out sound bites that draw media attention. We need to solve the problem.

Far too many young people are living in their parents’ basements, and I think it is important for people to have hope and a vision things can be different.

We`re saying the Washington establishment run behind Donald Trump.

We will stop the terrorist attacks before they occur because we will not be prisoners to political correctness. Rather, we will speak the truth. Border security is national security and we will not be admitting jihadists as refugees.

I have never supported amnesty, and I led the fight against Chuck Schumer’s gang of eight amnesty legislation in the Senate.

I do think we should be focused on substance and record. If you want a candidate who opposes amnesty, who opposes citizenship for the 12 million people here illegally, I’m the only candidate in the race who opposes that.

If Donald Trump is president, he will appoint liberals.

It’s not beneficial when you have a presidential candidate like Donald Trump, telling his supporters “punch that guy in the face.” I think everyone candidate ought to aspire toward civility, towards decency, towards bringing us together. I don’t think we should be using angry and hateful rhetoric.

During all my undergrad years and in high school, I was involved in tutoring and public service. At Harvard, I spent over 35 hours a week doing service. I was a Big Sister, I worked for the homeless, the elderly; it was the epicenter of my focus.

Every time ‘Lady Macbeth’ and everyone involved in the film gets nominated, it’s amazing.

Because there is something difficult and destructive involved, there must be something creative involved as well. Relating to that creative aspect is the point.

WE HAVE HAD OUR LAST CHANCE. THE PROBLEM NOW IS BASICALLY THEOLOGICAL, AND INVOLVES SPIRITUALITY AND IMPROVEMENT OF human CHARACTER. IT MUST BE OF THE SPIRIT IF WE ARE TO SAVE THE FLESH.

Sometimes it involves giving up everything you have ever known, or everyone you have ever loved for the sake of something greater.

The issues which today confront the nation are clearly defined and so fundamental as to directly involve the very survival of the Republic. Are we going to preserve the religious base to our origin.

I think more women should be involved in politics for the good of the human race.

Very few of us can now place ourselves in the mental condition in which even such philosophers as the great Descartes were involved in the days before Newton had announced the true laws of the motion of bodies.
